I believe we have at least one open spot. Anyone opposed to me sending FFCollusion an invite?

He's a very active member of this forum, and he's one of those rare guys that backs his opinions up with facts and stats. I think that makes him a perfect addition for the competitive nature of this league, assuming he's interested.

So far 10 have signed up for the league, that's including FFCollusion who's already made his team today.

I guess we're still waiting on 4 people to get with the program.

Regarding the draft, usually part of this league is publicizing the draft prior to most other people's drafts. For better or worse, that generally means doing it before preseason starts. I think last year's draft was started a couple days before the end of this month (July), and we all kept things moving pretty smoothly after some initial hiccups with one member.

I think the earliest date we'd even consider shooting for would be July 15th, which would be about 14 days from now. More realistically, July 20th is probably the earliest we'd want to aim for. Personally I'd say July 25th is probably better. Gives us over 20 days to make sure everyone's very aware of the draft date, hammer out any rule / scoring changes, and provides a 6-day buffer between the start of the draft and the first day of August.

The Hall of Fame game, which kicks off the Preseason, is on August 3rd between the Giants and the Bills.

The rest of the games for the first week of Preseason start on August 7th.

So yeah, I propose July 25th as our draft date for the above reasons/timetable.
